Recreation Fee Proposal
The Klamath National Forest is inviting the public to provide comments on proposed fee changes at 35 developed recreation sites across the forest. For more information about each site and an interactive map, please visit https://arcg.is/iXXmz.
Including the proposed sites, 68% (76 out of 111) of developed recreation sites would still remain free. Comments will be collected throughout the 2024 recreation season. Fee increases are not expected to take effect until 2025. Some sites can be reserved through www.recreation.gov for an added $8 reservation fee.
Additionally, these fee changes will be reviewed by a citizen’s advisory committee. Committee members represent a broad array of recreation interest groups to help ensure that the Forest Service is proposing reasonable and publicly acceptable new fees and fee changes.
The proposed fee changes include:
- Increasing fees at 18 developed campgrounds and group campgrounds. Most of these fees have not been increased for more than a decade.
- Adding nine new overnight fee sites, including four campgrounds, four new yurt rentals, and one group campground.
- Adding a new fee at eight developed day use sites. The new Klamath National Forest Recreation Pass will allow visitors to enjoy as many of the eight new developed day use sites as desired for the day ($5.00) or annually ($30.00 per calendar year). The day use sites include six developed day use areas and two developed trailheads.
- All America the Beautiful interagency passes including the Annual, Senior, Military, 4th Grade, Access, and Volunteer passes will be honored at these day use sites.
